Yeah, I saw a post were a guy rendered an image on his amiga then on his PC.
He said the amiga took 300 seconds and his PC (a 486-66) took 23 seconds.  He
said his friends P-90 was about 3 times as fast.  Sorry amiga, you have the
speed of a mac :-(

Yeah, it's out and it's pretty stable (from what I've heard).  The next version
to come out will incorperate the win95 GUI becasue the winNT GUI is horrid.
I think the new NT will be out with the next 1/2 year.
